Pros

The pay for a retail employee is very good. Adjustments to salary were made periodically to keep Verizon competative.

Cons

Very sales driven environment that demands your full attention. Interpretation of company's rules do not take circumstance into consideration often favoring the safety of the corporation not the employee. You are expendable and a commodity. Promotions can be a very political issue and not necessarily due to you based on performance. Very few opportunities for a retail employee to move to a corporate job so succession is limited. You are given a cell phone, a blackberry, a laptop and aircard so that you will be accountable for anything at anytime regardless of whats going on in your own life.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
